Pi — our take
Completely free, genuinely warm, and no upsell wall. Not a roleplay product, but an excellent listener.
- Entirely free with unlimited voice
- Consistently rated the most empathetic free model
- No ads
Cleverbot — our take
Historical interest mostly, but it is free and it does not pretend to be a person.
- No signup, no cost
- Still running after 25+ years
- Good for a laugh
